Just purchased second set to replace originals that came on my Trek Crossrip. Only flat was on my rack driving home from a tour, ran over a piece of truck tread and picked up a steel belt wire. Never let me down while riding. I pick off the thorns when I see them sticking to the tire, more than a dozen one time but no flats. The new ones seem more flexible and softer ride, but the old ones had fabric showing through the tread. Maybe more rubber helps!

I've had these tires for almost three years and have put on over 6000 miles and they still have plenty of thread left. I use to get flats from very small thorns that blew up on a paved bike trail. I haven't had a flat since. I can't believe how good these tires are. I was hesitant at first to purchase these tires due to the price but now I'd actually pay more. Please don't tell bontrager!! :)

My wife bought me a new Trek dual sport bicycle for Christmas in 2011. It came with a set of these tires. I am a very avid cyclist and have put 1200 miles on these tires, without any flats. I am just now replacing the rear tire with one exactly the same. They work well rain or shine. I would recommend this tire!
